THE SPEEDOGRAPH IN LIBRARIES 


In all libraries there is a demand for a quick 
process duplicating machine, which will make many 
copies from one writing. The SPHEEDOGRAPH provides 
a quick and easy method for making as many as 100, 
clear, legible copies direct from an original writing. 


No stencils or printing inks are used. The ex- 
pense of stencils therefore is eliminated and it is 
not even necessary to have an experienced operator, 
as anyone can make copies the SPEEDOGRAPH way. All 
you have to do is type one original on ordinary bond 
paper or cards, and the SPHEDOGRAPH quickly makes the 
copies exactly like the original. 


The SPEEDOGRAPH method involves no new work or 
new system. It simply replaces manual typing and does 
the necessary work in a far more speedy, accurate and 
economical way. Everytime you see a typist writing 
the same thing the second time, you see a money-saving 
application for the SPEEDOGRAPH. 


In your library you doubtless have many forms 
of which several copies are needed. You can use the 
SPEEDOGRAPH for copying Catalog Cards, Book Lists, 
Instructions, Hxamination Application Forms, Letters - 
and all those things that must be copied quickly. 


The SPHEDOGRAPH has a wide usefulness in the 
Library field and its convenience and saving are worth 
many times its cost.

SPEEDOGRAPH YOUR CATALOG CARDS 


The SPEEDOGRAPH method is especially adapted to 
making catalog cards. All of that tiresome re-writing - 
typing information over again on several cards - is 
eliminated. 


When the SPEEDOGRAPH is used, the card is typed 
only once and from that one master card, the SPEHEDOGRAPH 
will in a few seconds, make as many cards as you need. 
The new self-feeding device is responsible for the quick 
work. Instead of putting each card on the printing sur- 
face by hand, all the cards are put in the feeding frame 
and automatically fed one by one to the copying surface. 
This feeder can be so equipped as to handle two or more 
sets of cards at the same time. 


Valuable time is saved not only by eliminating re- 
writing but also by eliminating the necessity for proof 
reading or checking. Every card must be exactly like 
the master card, because it is made by a direct method 
of copying. The cards are perfectly dry the moment they 
come from the machine and the index headings may be filled 
in at once. 


By using the SPEEDOGRAPH method you don't have to 
wait for the printed cards and when printed cards are not 
available, you have a quick, easy and very inexpensive 
printing method of your own, 


This one application of the SPEEDOGRAPH alone makes 
it an indispensable piece of library equipment. It solves 
a serious copying problem and ends the interminable and 
expensive re-typing of the many catalog cards used in the 
average library. The delay, drudgery and expense of dupli- 
cating work in libraries can be so easily overcome by the 
SPEHEDOGRAPH method. 


FOR BOOK LISTS, INSTRUCTIONS, NOTICES ETc. 


Another important application for the SPHEDOGRAPH 
method is in getting out Book Lists. The demand for 
these lists is constantly increasing and the SPHEDOGRAPH 
takes away the burden and cost of old-time methods. If 
you have a swift, clean and inexpensive way to make up 
these lists, the library becomes a more useful institution. 


To be able to make as many as 100 clear, accurate 
copies from a single typewritten sheet, without using 
stencils or printing inks, means a real definite saving. 
There is a convenience too the value of which cannot be 
estimated. Anyone can use the SPHEDOGRAPH and you can 
have the copies run off and available much earlier than 
by any other method. A specimen book list copy will be 
found in this booklet. 


Every day you will find urgent need for the SPEED- 
OGRAPH. The method is so flexible, so comprehensive 
that it can be profitably applied to all kinds of dupli- 
cating work in your library; and once installed for any 
particular purposes, its usefulness will so rapidly 
extend that within a brief time, it will be in constant 
use - constantly saving and doing away with scores of 
laborious tasks. 


When you want to make up Training Class Exami- 
nations, Reports, Request Slips, Application Forms, 
Circular Letters, and all those dozens of things you 
need every day, just turn to this easy and efficient 
method. It is purely a replacement proposition - 
simply a better way of doing what you are now doing. 
Just doing it in a better way, making your work more 
efficient - thats all! 


HOW TO MAKE COPIES ON THE SPHEDOGRAPH 


The great convenience of the SPHEDOGRAPH is its 
Simplicity. No experienced operator is required. Any 
boy or girl can successfully use the SPEEDOGRAPH. 


When writing the original or master, a duplica- 
ting ribbon is used on the typewriter - or you may use 
duplicating carbon. Typing is done in the usual way, 
using an ordinary bond paper. 


To get the machine ready for use, simply moisten 
the surface of the SPHEDOGRAPH roll with a sponge and 
by means of the feeding device and impression roller 
the original card or sheet is placed in contact with 
the copying surface. An exact impression of all matter 
on the original is left on the copying surface of the 
roll. From this impression as many as 75 or 100 exact 
duplicate copies can be made, 


All of the blank sheets or cards may be placed 
in the feeding frame at one time and copies run off as 
quickly as one cares to operate the machine. 


When one set of cards or sheets have been printed, 
just two or three turns of the winding handle brings a 
fresh surface into position and you are ready for the 
next lot. The SPHEDOGRAPH roll is 15 feet long, and 
24 hours after you have used any surface, you can go 
right back and use it again. Every part of the roll 
is capable of being used 20 to 30 times. So one roll 
will reproduce thousands of copies making the cost of 
each set almost nothing. One hundred copies of a full 
sized sheet should not cost more than two cents. 


Compare this with any other method and you will 
see how much less expensive the SPEHDOGRAPH method is. 
But the money saved is only incidental to the major 
saving of time.
